Canadian heavy metal legends ANVIL have signed a new recording contract with The End Records. As recently announced, the band is currently recording their upcoming album entitled Juggernaut of Justice at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in Northridge, California with famed producer Bob Marlette. Juggernaut is due to be released in Spring 2011. Prior to the release of the new album, The End will be releasing the definitive ANVIL anthology. The collection will be comprised of classics old and new, with some surprises, and will showcase the band’s entire career spanning back to 1978.

ANVIL was the subject of 2009’s award-winning rock documentary, Anvil! The Story of Anvil.

Singer/guitarist Steve “Lips” Kudlow commented, “I must say that this is by far the best ANVIL ever. There will be a few new surprises including Glenn 5‘s first lead vocals in ANVIL‘s history. The production that Bob Marlette has done far surpasses anything we’ve done in the past. The excitement within the band is over the top and we can’t wait to unleash this amazing cd to the fans.”

Drummer Robb Reiner concurs, “The new album is pure ANVIL with a new fresh kick, very exciting. Looking to rocking with The End, putting the music where it belongs – in everybody’s ears and face!”

ANVIL are currently planning a world tour for 2011 in support of Juggernaut of Justice. Details will be announced shortly.

MONDO GENERATOR have uploaded the video for â€œLie Detector,â€ from their recently released new album Dead Planet, online at the following location: www.one.revver.com/watch/327137

MONDO GENERATOR recently returned from their European tour where front man Nick Oliveri checked in from the road with the following update:

“Eastern Baltic rock! There were tons of hot girls, but unfortunately none of them were at our gigs. Estonia was cool, but Bulgaria was the best as me and Ian got to sing ‘Sex and Violence‘ with THE EXPLOITED; I’ll never forget it,” says Oliveri recapping MONDO GENERATOR‘s recent European tour. “Warsaw is always a good time, but I haven’t played there since I played with QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE 7 years ago. We had crazy drives through Serbia and Croatia going into Romania, where we got lost thinking we were taking an exit, but it was really an entrance. We had a great time playing for all the European fans and hope to get back there soon.”

MONDO GENERATORâ€™s new album Dead Planet landed in stores this week through Suburban Noize Records. The band is currently on the road all summer long on the second stage at Ozzfest 2007 and playing off dates with CIRCUS DIABLO. Dead Planet is already getting a strong reaction from radio where MONDO GENERATOR was the #3 most added on FMQBâ€™s Loud Rock charts.

Recorded by producer Nick Raskulinecz at Dave Grohlâ€™s Studio 606, Dead Planet is thunderous, raw rock â€˜nâ€™ roll at its best. The album has already generated significant critical acclaim upon European release.

MONDO GENERATOR was originally formed by ex-QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and KYUSS bassist Nick Oliveri in 1997. The band has previously released two critically acclaimed albums, their classic debut album Cocaine Rodeo in 2000 and 2003â€™s A Drug Problem That Never Existed. Initially intended as a side-project, the band has now become Oliveriâ€™s full time venture.

“MONDO GENERATOR is not a side-project anymore,â€ Oliveri says bluntly. â€œI used to do MONDO every now and then on spare time and now it’s my first choice. All other bands I play in have become my side-project, so in other words my mistress has now become my wife.â€
